Merge tables only from last files created each day

[nadavs]

Hi,

I have thousands of files generated multiple times everyday, such that each file is named "date Version #" .

How can I merge all tables only from last version files generated every day?

Hi, @nadavs 

I'd like to suggest you use folder connector to combine the tables in each file. Please make sure all tables have the same columns and table name. For example, all tables in the file in the folder have the same name 'Table' and same columns 'Name', "Age", "Salary".

When i put a new excel file in the folder and click 'Refresh', it combines the tables in the file automatically. For example, I added a excel file named 'test2' with a table named 'Table' which has same columns with others.

For further infornmation, you may refer to the document .

Best Regards

Allan

@nadavs - Start with a Folder query. Edit the query that lists the files and split the file name. Group By Date and get maximum value of version. Then recombine the separate filename columns back. The rest of the queries should proceed as normal.
